He Atletico Madrid faced with a problematic situation Joao Felix. In the last period, they had to give it up to Barcelona at a very low cost to relieve stress on the team. According to recent Spanish media reports, the board of directors of the ‘colchonero’ club are losing patience with this matter, as they realize that they will not be able to obtain the amount of money they expected for a player they acquired for more than 100 million. euros and that seems to have a future far from the capital and closer to Catalonia.

Atlético is aware that, in this scenario, it has a disadvantageous position, but it has no intention of letting the player go without obtaining a fair agreement in exchange. The Portuguese has been linked to Madrid for four and a half seasons, and the club has recovered part of its investment. However, there is still a considerable amount to be amortized.
During the summer, the possibility of a transfer to Tottenham was considered and an offer from Saudi Arabia was even considered, but the player rejected both options. To make a profit, the Rojiblancos would have to sell him for up to €80 million, which seems unlikely, especially with the Blaugrana’s interest in him.
Félix, if he continues with his great performance, will increase his value, but the key factor is the athlete’s firm determination to stay with the Catalans. If that does not change, Atlético will be forced to negotiate on less favorable terms. For now, they are aware of the difficulty of the situation and hope that Laporta and company communicate soon to have room for negotiation.
It wouldn’t be surprising if, in the end, they opted for a new loan. In the midst of this context, Jorge Mendes, the player’s agent, will play a transcendental role. He has worked tirelessly to bring the Portuguese to Barcelona and is now fully committed to Joao remaining at the club, he concludes. SPORT in your report.
